Last month while I was missing from blogging, I celebrated my 39th birthday on February 10th. I needed to make a few thank you cards and since time is limited these days I wanted something cute and stylish but something that I could make quick.
So I reached for my new A Muse spring release stamps that had not seen ink yet and this is what I came up with.
I love the new long grass stamp and this little flower adds just the right touch. You can't tell in the photo but I added tiny twinkle stickers in the center of each flower for a little spring bling. I really like this color combo too. I know its a little darker then most are using this time of year but I was having fun with some new Perfect Match ink pads I ordered a while back.
This was about it for my stamping this weekend so I won't have much more to post this week.
School is keeping me VERY busy but it is going very well. I got my first tests back this week and so far I can say I am holding an A in both classes. (Anatomy and Statistics) I am actually at my midterms right now so I will be hitting the books pretty hard this week. Thank goodness next week is spring break from work!
